Hey, just a quick VR update here for anyone who's interested. The Oculus CEO said today that the Rift will cost "At least $300".
I don't know about you, but that's a lower number than I would have expected them to go with. Mostly because I have honestly been expecting the Rift to cost at or near $500. Even if the Rift comes in at $399, that's a totally reasonable price for the HMD and what it comes bundled with (the sensor, the controller, ect.). It also makes me think that $299 more PSVR may even be a bit higher than what we'll actually see as a starting price.
I say this because PSVR should be cheaper than the Rift. It has a lower resolution screen, it doesn't have the magnetometer than the Rift has, it doesn't come with any audio as far as I'm aware, you've almost certainly be able to get it without the PS Camera or any controllers. I mean, it does have the separate unit that splits the image, but I can't imagine that will outweigh the costs of all of those other things.
Anyways, seeing as we don't really have a PSVR or VR thread, this seemed like a good place to post this.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
